Sharon was looking at herself in the mirror when Dr.Frankenstein walked into the bedroom. She had just put on her Bride of Frankenstein costume. Victor Frankenstein could not help but smile at her choice, for she was now in truth the bride of his monster. "Ahem," he cleared his throat. Sharon turned around and was surprised by the presence of the man. "Who the hell are you?" she demanded to know.
"I am... Jim's friend," Frankenstein answered. "My name is Victor. I'm a doctor and Jim requested my help. He hasn't been feeling like himself lately."
"Oh," Sharon replied, buying Victor's story hook, line and sinker. "Well that's great! I was starting to worry about him, keeping to himself so much over the last few weeks, barely even talking to me. What the hell's wrong with him?"
"Too much junk food," Victor said. "It's terrible what Twinkies can do to a man."
Meanwhile, Julia had gotten dressed in a beautiful blue and yellow Victorian gown and had secreted away the lust potion in her dainty little hand-bag. Dr.Frankenstein was relieved when he saw her return; Sharon was anxious to see Jim and the good doctor was finding it difficult to keep her from going down into the basement. "But Jim wants to surprise you with his costume," Victor was telling Sharon, "and it's not quite ready yet. Ahhh, here's my assistant. Sharon, this is Julia. Julia, Sharon."
"Pleased to meet you," Julia curtsied.
"Likewise," Sharon replied, eyeing her costume. "That's a great dress. Where did you get it from? A costume place here in town?"
"Actually," Victor cut in, "it came from my private collection." And indeed the dress wasn't a costume at all but was an actual Victorian-era dress once worn by Victor's late, lamented wife, Elizabeth. "I have other 'costumes' as well. Perhaps you will come and look at them, some time when you have the chance." Sharon nodded eagerly at the invitation. "But for now, while we wait for Jim, why don't we go downstairs and have a drink?"
Sharon and Julia followed Victor to the den where he poured them all drinks. While Sharon wasn't looking he slipped a few drops of the lust potion into her glass.
